SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Supporters of a referendum granting driving privileges to people who can't prove they're legally in the United States are trying to rewrite the official summary that will appear on the ballots in November.
The Legislature's language would make no reference to the change in requirements for drivers' immigration status, saying only that the measure "establishes limited purpose, duration driver card for individuals who prove Oregon residency, meet driving requirements."
In a rare move, Legislature's action would throw out the certified ballot title written by the attorney general's office, which says the measure "provides Oregon resident 'driver card' without requiring proof of legal presence in the United States." The House Rules Committee approved the measure Tuesday, setting up a vote Wednesday in the full House. Critics are crying foul.
